Communism demands and presupposes maximum centralisation of large-scale
industry throughout the country. The all-Russia centre must,
unconditionally, therefore, be given the right to place all enterprises of
a given branch under its direct control. The regional centres will
determine their functions depending on local, everyday and other conditions
in accordance with the instructions and decisions of the centre.

To deprive the all-Russia centre of the right of immediate control over
all enterprises of a given branch in all parts of the country, as is
implied in the commission's draft proposals, would be regional
anarcho-syndicalism, and not communism.
